Nutella Spelt Cookies with Pistachios

If you are a fan of Nutella or chocolate, those rich, crispy, chocolatey and nutty cookies are sure a real treat. If you can’t find spelt, just use plain wheat flour instead.

270 g Spelt pastry flour

1/2 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Salt

100 g Butter, softened

150 g Sugar

2 Eggs, at room temperature

320 g Nutella

1 tbsp Coffee liquor

50 g Pistachios, chopped

Whisk together the spelt flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.

Cream the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, until completely incorporated. Add in nutella and coffee liquor.

Sift the flour mixture into the nutella mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Cover with a plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Shape the cookie dough into balls and roll in the chopped pistachios. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between cookies. Bake for 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
